Patent TW-I238591-B (TW)
Title: Power supply capable of providing stable procedure-controlled power output
Inventor: YAU PEI-JR
IPC: H02M7/06
Filed: 2003-11-03
Granted: 2005-08-21
Abstract: The present invention is related to a kind of power supply capable of providing stable procedure-controlled power output, in which a transformer is disposed at the DC output terminal of the power supply. The two-phase of the transformer connects to a clamping circuit. Because the clamping circuit is disposed at the two-phase of the step-down transformer, no high DC voltage tolerance is required to drive the clamping circuit to operate. In addition, the clamping circuit can clamp in advance the high-voltage that the drain bears as the MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) is at the OFF state so as to decrease the high voltage born by the MOSFET to improve the reliability of MOSFET. Moreover, the energy, which generates and stores in the transformer due to magnetic leakage and inductance, can be released or eliminated so as to further prevent transformer saturation.

Title: Low-voltage sense amplifier and method
Inventor: MORGAN DONALD M
IPC: H03F3/04
Filed: 2004-02-24
Granted: 2011-04-11
Abstract: A first sense amplifier has complementary inputs and outputs coupled between a pair of complementary sense lines. Each sense line is connected to a respective complementary digit line through a coupling transistor. The coupling transistors are activated during an initial sensing period to couple a differential voltage from the digit lines to the sense lines. The sense lines are then isolated from the digit lines to allow the first sense amplifier to respond to the differential voltage without being loaded by the capacitance of the digit lines. The sense lines are also coupled to complementary inputs of a second sense amplifier that has complementary outputs coupled to the digit lines. By coupling the inputs of the second sense amplifier to the sense lines rather than the digit lines, the differential voltage applied to the second sense amplifier increases faster than the increase of the differential voltage between the digit lines.

The Node-B transmits to the WTRU the uplink scheduling information, wherein the uplink scheduling information is not transmitted to the WTRU by any non-primary Node-B. The Node-B receives an EU data packet from the WTRU and performs a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on the EU data packet. The Node-B transmits an acknowledgment (ACK) or a negative acknowledgment (NACK) to the WTRU in response to the received EU data packet. Further, the Node-B transmits a successfully received EU data packet to the RNC.

Title: Container with acoustic ball
Inventor: HEIDENREITER THOMAS
IPC: A45D33/02
Filed: 2005-11-10
Granted: 2007-07-11
Abstract: The present invention concerns a container (10) for substances in powder form, in particular cosmetics in powder form. By means of the container (10) which has a closure (40) with at least one closure portion (41) on which there is disposed a stem insert (50) for an applicator element (80), the stem insert being in the interior of the container in the closed condition, sufficiently accurate loading of the applicator element (80) with the substance in powder form can be advantageously guaranteed substantially independently of the filling, level of the container (10). For that purpose the closure (40) of the container (10) has a cavity (60; 61) containing at least one freely movable insert portion (70). By virtue of the closed container (10) being shaken, the freely movable insert portion (70) produces force pulses for removing excess substance or amounts of substance which cling loosely to the applicator element (80). Only the amount of substance necessary for an application remains on the applicator element (80). It is also particularly advantageous that shaking the container (10) causes a noise which represents an acoustic feedback for the user about the applicator element (80) loading operation.
